Silver Nanoparticles Show Promise in Fighting Antibiotic-resistant Bacteria

For centuries, silver has been known to have antimicrobial properties. New research investigated whether silver nanoparticles could amplify the effects of antibiotics on antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The study found that small amounts of silver nanoparticles combined with a low dose of a common antibiotic inhibited the growth of resistant bacteria. The scientists hope to use these findings to...
